Something different from BEVs - it’s the plug-in hybrid! Test drove many cars and was also able to push to get a great deal on BMW iX here in WA, but wife was set on GLE so there it comes…
Not a great or good deal, but a decent one considering high sales tax (10%+) and title/license fees here. And it’s not the negotiation, it’s the lease program that sucks. I was able to negotiate dealer down to 7% discount and also apply all rebates, but couldn’t get down further on the marked up MF. I calculated about $43/month difference due to marked up MF but ok considering I am happy with overall deal. So, here it goes:
MSRP: $75,225
Selling price: $70,000
Rebates: $7,500 (EV) + $3,000 (re-ignite)
36/10K, RV: 51%
MF: 0.00325 (buy rate is 0.00285)
Acq. fee: $1,095
Dealer fee: $200
Title/licensing: $1,230
DAS: $5,000
monthly: $994
Lease score: 6.2 years (I’ve been seeing this at around 6.2-7.0 years depending on new or demo and 350 or 450)

Not a great one, but wanted to share as this site and forum has been immensely helpful over the years in my research and some good deals earlier.
